Product Information

Referred to by BMW as a tension strut, ball joint faces down

The tension struts in the front end of your BMW are an important part of the front suspension. It is also the most common component to fail. Typically, the inner control arm bushing will fail first allowing for the front end to have significant suspension play. This will affect steering performance and handling. You will also likely hear bumping sounds while you travel over the roads.

In some cases owners will opt to replace the failed bushing which can be pressed out and a new one can be pressed in. We do not recommend this as it requires a shop press and the arm can easily be damaged while attempting this. It is simply more cost and time effective to replace the entire arm.

Suspension Control Arm

Control arms are crucial link in a vehicle's suspension connecting the suspension to a vehicle's subframe. These pieces are usually hinged to allow for suspension to travel and articulate as the vehicle rides over obstructions in the road and while the vehicle turns. Many vehicles such as those with independent suspensions have multiple links and feature several connection points and arms to offer better ride quality and comfort.

As bushings and joints in a control arm begin to wear you may notice a looseness feel in your suspension. And while many arms have replaceable and serviceable individual components, many still require the replacement of the entire arm. Below are signs of when a replacement control arm may be needed:

Suspension Control Arm Failure Symptoms
  • Play in suspension joints where these arms meet the subframe and/or knuckle
  • Buckling noise emanating from the suspension
  • Uneven tire wear
  • Inability to properly align vehicle
  • Shutter or vibration coming from the steering wheel at highway speed
  • Wandering or pulling sensation from side to side felt on the steering wheel
